All servers will come down on Tuesday, February 26, 2013, at 7:00 am Pacific for an update. The expected downtime is two hours. This downtime is separate from the SOE-wide maintenance that begins at 6:00 am Pacific.

New x4 raid zone The Dreadcutter: The Pirate Kings. Entrance located in Obol Plains on the dock.

NEW BAG SORTING, SWAPPING AND DUMPING FEATURESBag Sorting: (more info on the official web site) Open up the Bag Options window from the button on each bag to access the filters that you’d like to set for a respective inventory bag. After setting your options, hit the “Sort” button on your Character window. This will send a command up to the server with “/sort_bags name”.

In addition to sorting by “name”, you can type the sort_bags command yourself and put “level” to sort by level of the item instead.

Any option that you set for filtering items will also affect which bag the item goes to upon looting!

If you’d rather a bag not be sorted, feel free to mark the bag as a “Skip”.

Bag Swapping: If you want to upgrade your equipped bags with one of a bigger (or just different) size, you no longer have to remove all of the items from the bag. Simply drag a bag from inside one of your equipped bags on top of the slot of the equipped bag you’d like to replace.

The bag icons will change color to show how good of a match they are: Green = Valid upgrade, Yellow = Valid but not upgrade, Red = Invalid

By player request, this functionality only takes effect on bags in your primary inventory (equipped bags and the items therein).

Bag Dumping: If you want to empty one bag’s contents into another equipped bag, you can now do that! Simply drag the equipped bag icon of the bag you’d like to dump onto the other equipped bag icon to dump the contents into the new bag.

Like swapping, the bags will highlight depending on their match: Green = Valid for dumping, Red = Not enough space.

By player request, this functionality only takes effect on bags in your primary inventory (equipped bags and the items therein).

NEW GUILD ACHIEVEMENTS FEATURE Guilds can now earn achievements! When killing a raid target your guild will be awarded a guild achievement if your raid force consists of at least 2/3rds from the same guild. The achievements can be viewed on the ‘Achievements’ tab located in the guild window. Selecting "Hide Achievements from Census" will prevent your achievements from exporting to census. NOTE: Guild Achievements for the following will be added in a future update:

Ancient Sentinel (Challenge) in Sleeper’s Tomb: Unearthed

Hand of Vallon in Vallon’s Tower

Generals in Tallon’s Stronghold

HOTZONES The hotzone rotations for dungeons and PVP have been updated!

AMENITIES All Standards and Markers should now be stackable.

Comments

I have set up filters on bags and sit here wondering how things like LARGE MEATY BONE, EMERALD SCRYING STONE and BRILLIANT EROLLISI PETAL end up in a bag marked for harvest only. Guess these filters need a lot of work before they will actually work
